Myrto has worked extensively with people with mild to moderate problems with depression and anxiety (e.g. stress, sexual difficulties, OCD, social phobia, health worries, work performance, anger management, skin picking, sleep problems), but also with people with forensic histories and severe mental health problems such as schizophrenia and personality difficulties. She has a specialist interest and experience in applying CBT treatment to PTSD, ADHD and trichotillomania. She works with those whose difficulties impact on them not only on a personal level but also on their relationships and day-to-day functioning.

She has experience in working with individuals, couples and families. She has a doctorate and a Master’s degree in counselling psychology, a Master’s in health psychology, a diploma in forensic mental health and a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. She has conducted research in personality disorders and has received training in working with families and couples.
